If you are looking for a book on hurricanes for you weather section, this is an adequate choice. The information is current, and fairly thorough, addressing many aspects of hurricanes, including how and where they develop, how people prepare for and clean up after them, and some historical information regarding the most significant hurricanes to hit land in the U.S. The design layout and graphics are intended to give the information some pizzaz to attract the target audience, but it’s really just distracting.
